The Sinus Lift Procedure

Dental Arts Dr. Michaelsen and his team follow a process that is meticulous to ensure the safety and success of a sinus lift: 

  • Assessment and Planning: Dr. Michaelsen uses advanced imaging to evaluate your sinus anatomy and bone structure and plan the procedure.
  • Anesthesia: Local anesthesia is administered for your comfort. If desired, sedation options are also available.
  • Surgical Access: A small incision is made to expose the bone, and then a small opening is created in it.
  • Sinus Membrane Lift: Gently lifting the sinus membrane creates space for a bone graft.
  • Bone Grafting: A bone graft fills in the newly formed space and encourages new bone growth.
  • Closure: The gum tissues are sutured into place, and healing begins.

Recovery and Aftercare

To ensure a successful recovery, it’s important to carefully follow your post-operative care plan and attend all follow-up appointments to track your progress.
